No worries about the tail break... they grow back!
LOL 😂
I've built hundreds of molds - fiberglass, urethane, silicone. Smooth-On makes good products.
Here's a couple of tips:
When pouring, hold the container high above the mold (15-20 inches) and pour slowly. What you want is a thin stream of urethane or silicone. This will help release entrained bubbles.
To get a good approximation of the volume of an oddly shaped mold, fill it with play sand and then pour the sand into an appropriately sized measuring container like a Mix-n-Measure bucket. You will find the volume of mixed material within a percentage point or two.
Oh my god that’s brilliant! I’m definitely going to try this next time!
Wow! Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us.🌞🐠🐠🖖
I'll give them a try. Thank you sir!
Those are great tips. You can use rice as well, makes clean up easier.

“Binge watch”. Dude I haven’t done one project but I feel like I can go to Home Depot right now and make anything. Thanks. I’m so trying some of these projects.
There's actually a good reason for using the "right" modelling clay. It's not so much a concern with urethane, but casting silicones will react to the presence of metals. (They wont cure properly.) And latex will go hard if you use a clay with sulphur in it. (That's how rubber tires are made.) As well, latex will discolor in the presence of some metals. (Not really a big deal, but nice to know.)
Put a rounded over needle or tiny brad in your exacto holder and use that to cut the clay from around your model. It works much better than the knife blade.
This is a hell of a product especially becasuse if you make dioramas you can make your own molds for rocks that would probably outlast ones you buy
You buy rocks?
I got rocks
I got lots a rocks.
Man I've been up all night binge watching your videos! Love them.
Looking forward for that sweater that says "come on!"
Ye thats good one
Great job, Michael! Thank you!
Super fun and informative video as usual. Your projects and style are unique.
Nobody ever ripped this guy off!! He's gonna always find the easiest/ cheapest way to compete ANY project!!
How did miss this video? I love the idea of molding concrete! 😊
Glad to see someone is working. Good Project.
Thanks you sir. I am really glad you made the video on this. I was wondering how to make a mold. Just keep up the good work. Thanks for the great videos also.
Great video, love the no nonsense light hearted style. Awesome content too, many thanks
Sweet! Thanks Michael!!
What a wonderful video, idea and system.
We can even get the stuff here in Australia so I will most definitely be using your advice (always brilliant) for molding the things I need for my model railway and might even try a few cake molds for special events.
By the way, love the way the lizard turned 180 degrees when you dropped the box.
This is a great tutorial. Thanks! Subscribed.
Cool! Very creative and inspiring! thanks!
That is awsome i I also learned about smooth on a few years ago but was afraid to try it because the videos that I saw for making silicone mold had you using a vacuum chamber and I didn't want to spend all the money thanks Michael now I know you can do it without all that crap
I could just die. I didn't know this stuff existed. I'm going to go nuts when things get back to normal. I have so many projects imagined in my head now. I know how to finish off my porch, gonna build a concrete bar in back after we build the back deck and no telling what else. So glad I found you!!!! 😍😍😍
Your work is awsome! I've been in concrete for years and just learned some cool ideas from your chanel! Keep em coming

Good vids dude. Great info.
Michael, I hope you and your family are staying safe through this Covid19 menis. Thanks for doing a video at this time. It's boring to say the least sheltering in place. Learned new things as always with your videos. 😊
Thank you so much Honey Bee! Hope you’re doing well too!
@@MichaelBuilds thank you. You know me always making things. I am the only one in my county that goes out with a homemade covid virus mask and wearing purple surgical gloves. Lol. Going out today to find some activated charcoal for filters for my mask.
Dude Great Video & Info!
Thank you so much.
Glad you all are safe. And stay SAFE.
Excellent
Love the videos.. Stay safe.
Great video, saved me with a project I'm working on for a model railroad layout. I ordered a couple of model stone walls and of course I received two different walls. Product came from china (forever delivery) so that's what I get. But I came across your video and wala! gonna attempt to make a mold of the model stone wall. With the mold I'll be able to make as many walls as I would like expanding the layout.
Great project
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much!
Thank You So Much Sir
Love your channel. I just discovered it and am looking forward to more of your videos. I'm already working on making my own curved bar top. Let's see how it goes in this the Arizona heat.
You! Are Awesome!
A lot of fun dude. Thanks.
I knew there had to be a product like this, I just never ran across it, so, thank you for the video!
Love the channel. Big fan from the beginning. Keep it up. And keep them coming. Time for some more diy epoxy videos?
Dude, C'mon! Lovin' it.
Your vid is just what I was looking for.
Thanks, more tools for the cranium tool box !
BAM!!
Awesome!!
BAM BABY!
you are hilarious! Love the vids bro!
Thanks
Thanks for sharing the awesome video. one question: how do you reinforce the tail area? thanks!
This was such a great video!! I want to use it to make cement daisies!! Can you please make a video on how to make a nice size cement pot with a flower garland?? Please teach us that!
Loved this. Will this work for Christmas ornaments that are round? I have some old ornaments I would like to duplicate.
Thanks Donna
DAYUM, MICHAEL! Excellent Eyeballing on the remaining Vyta-Flex mix, yo! That takes REEL SKILLZ, MAN! WTG! ; )
thanks
dude you are my hero
You are my hero!
Oh my God ! Hi Michael
This video is just what I was looking for it is so good and easy to follow ! ;however, It is your humor and super sexy speaking voice that takes my breath away ! You entertained me from begining to end.I can't wait to try it on my clay Jesus sculpture I just finished You are a natural born teacher!
Thank you I can't wait to view every one of your videos . Deb
😊
Very cool
Thank you so much!
Michael, Hope you and your family are doing well. Getting crazy on your side of the state. God bless. Jell-O shots 😂😂
Good Stuff !
Thank you!
I worked at a place that used Smooth-On 2part metal filler; kinda like industrial jb weld. Except WAY cheaper and WAY stronger. After it set, u could even drill and tap it. To say Smooth On makes good shit is a monumental understatement
Time to come back friend! We need more videos!
That is cool.
You rock.!
That’s cool 👍🏻
you are fricken awesome dude
No no no, you’re frickin awesome Julie! 👍🏻😊
Thank You!!!!
No, thank you! 👍🏻😊
I've been enjoying your videos especially since I've been wanting to take the plunge in creating a concrete countertop and let me tell you you've given me the confidence I need! Your videos are awesome and I can't help but get up "Peter McKinnon" vibe from your videos maybey it's you're B-Roll! Lol then you just mentioned Monty McKinnon, isn't that Peter's dad!? 🤯
Mike I have used Oomoo (By smooth on) for molds, but if you need to in a pinch you can use pure silicon caulk mixed with corn starch. It is cheap and gives pretty good definition, if you can stand the smell lol
What’s the ratio of call to corn starch please?
Sorry. I meant caulk.
Cool man

Hi Michael ,great video, I have cast my first project but had little holes, how do i get rid of them in the process. Hope you can help. Thanks Steve Klink NZ
Michael, I would love to see you make a rustic, non-combustible fireplace mantel with Rapidset...
Great job , could you please show how to make mold for spoon rest? Thanks
F.Y.I. a watered down P.V.A. wash will seal most porous surfaces and dries very quickly. Sorry if I am stating the obvious to fellow mould makers. but for newbies it's a quick tip and helps eliminate some of the bubbles on the mould surface. Yep I spell Moulds with a 'U' cos I am a Brit. :)
"I'm cheap and lazy"
This is my kind of channel.
Lol 😂 your my kinda subscriber 😉👍🏻
Wow... jello shots... I mean molds here we come!
The first time you said “I mean, come on🤷🏻♂️”, I knew I was going to subscribe to this channel.
Thats badass,i dig the mayan sculpture your goin to mold,i got a similar one except is 44 inches in diameter maybe 3/4" to 1" thick how much of the stuff do u think ill need to make a mold out of it,TIA.
Instead of going to the trouble of sculpting around your piece, would it be easier/less time consuming use a pasta machine (I have one I got for crafting) to 'roll out' a uniform thickness and set the piece on the clay pressing down slightly to eliminate gaps. OR....adding the clay to the bottom of the piece THEN putting it on the board and pressing down - whichever works best. It seems like it would be easier to me. I'd be sure to make the 'pasta clay' the same size as the base.
Terri Juanette thats a great idea😃
Anyway you might be able to go over how to make a mold for a dollar store plastic skull? I’d like to use your advice from this video to make more of these.
c,mon good vid michael 44 magnum mould coming right up.
Lol 😂 thank you so much Angus!
I want the jello shot one!!! Lolz
If there was a fantastic button I’d click it. I’ve been a subscriber since your first video and shared with countless others. You have inspired myself and others to step outside our “comfort zones”. Thank you. I’ll definitely be trying this too
I want to do a foam wall around my patio. Windows and doors cut out adobe style. I want to add this idea to the wall before spraying on the final finish.
"Aw come on!" i like this channel. you can simply put a small rod like a wire right there to reenforce it. would you advise using fiberglass to strengthen the tail?
